eiation with the Fraternity had endeared him to the hearts of all the Craft : and with respect to the Pro and Deputy Grand Masters , the growth and prosperity of the Craft was due in an eminent degree to the interest taken therein by those distinguished noblemen—the Earl of Carnarvon and Lord Lathom . Introducing the toast of tho Vis iters , the W . M . remarked npon the quotations from Oliver Goldsmith , which appeared after each toast on the
programme" Blest be the spot where cheerful guests retire To pause from toil . " He said that it afforded him much gratification to see such a large muster ( fifty-one ) ; tbe Urban Lodge was famed for its hospitality , bnt he thought it waa due as much to their desire to witness the work of Bro . Fairchild inside fche Lodge room as to partake of the
" good cheer" provided at the banquet table . Several visitors responded , all of whom expressed themselves highly delighted with what they had witnessed . Bro . Fairchild having obtained permission , then rose and proposed the health of the Worsbf pf nl Master—Bro . Charles Hawksley—in eulogistic terms . The W .

held , it being his mother Lodge .

M . for his kindness in proposing , and the brethren for their reception of the toast . He bad tried to perform
his duties in such a manner as he hoped wonld give satisfaction , and in doing so he had done his best . Tbe health of the Past Masters was then proposed , and Bros .

It was an interesting sight to witness the ragged regiment of little Limehousers on Wednesday , when they crowded round the new hall of the London Cottage Mission , at Salmon ' s Lane , Liraehouse . The pinched and eager faces put on quite a different look as the " appetitising " smell of the Irish stew saluted their nostrils . It had been feared the funds of the Mission would " give out , " but fortunately thia
calamity was avoided , and some seven to eight hundred children and old folks had supplied to them a hot and wholesome meal . We regret to have to add , however , that the continuance of these dinners depends upon steady and efficient help , which we trust will bo forth , coming . As on many a Wednesday lately , Lady Colin Campbell a « ain took charge of one of the great dishes of stew , and distributed
ifc around . Although far from well her ladyship attended the Special Service ou Sunday morning last , and led the singing . On that occasian also one of Mr . Austin ' s latest converts was present in the person of tho man who hitherto bad been the owner of the "Opium Den" in Ratcliffe Highway , wherein many a sailor has come
to orief . Any of our readers who are fond of " sensation adventares , should pay a visit to the Hall . Mr . Austin , of 44 Finsbury Pavement , will be ready to give any information they may desire , and will also receive any contribution , however small , with which he may be favoured .
